Just 15-30 more seconds

Kicking myself! I just finished my 30 minute treadmill work-out. I was so full of energy today. I gave it everything I had. Alternating between the breathless mode and the full power throttle. I knew I was doing better today.
It was the last 4 minutes that I didn’t think I would finish. I felt myself giving up. I felt myself so tired and without air. I felt the salty burning of sweat in my eyes. Those last 4 minutes felt like hours. Of course, before that I was getting exhausted, but still capable.
My stats today:
- 2.48 miles – 15-30 more seconds running @ 6.2 and I would have hit the 2.5 mark.
- 328 calories burned – this is the least of my worries – although this means breakfast and coffee w/cream is zero calories. SWEET!
- 9 Aerobic points- wow! I used to be a permanent fixture in the 6-7 range. Recently I hit the 8’s. I never dreamed a 9. This is sooo cool.
- 5.0 MPH – I’m moving up. 1.2 mph higher and I will be able to complete a 5k in 1/2 hour – my goal/dream.
I’m so nervous. I know it is silly, but my weigh in for the Biggest Loser has me sitting on pins and needles. 2 1/2 more hours and I’ll be hitting the scale. On a positive note, I will also be measured for inches lost and fat % eliminated. Those are the 2 I really, really care about.
I know my size has went down – I just want to see it in numbers!
